MAIA vs ELTX Comparison

MAIA Biotechnology Inc is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing targeted immunotherapies for cancer. THIO (6-thio-dG or 6-thio-2 '-deoxyguanosine), its lead asset, is an investigational dual mechanism of action drug candidate incorporating telomere targeting and immunogenicity. Patients with advanced NSCLC will be treated first with THIO followed a few days later by the immune checkpoint inhibitor Libtayo (cemiplimab), manufactured and commercialized by Regeneron.

Elicio Therapeutics Inc is a clinical-stage biotechnology company pioneering the development of cancer immunotherapies for patients with limited treatment options and poor outcomes. Its proprietary Amphiphile, or AMP, platform delivers investigational immunotherapeutics directly to the brain center of the immune system the lymph nodes. Its focus is the development of cancer immunotherapies against biologically validated but hard-to-drug targets that can be activated through lymph node trafficking. Elicio is engineering lymph node-targeted AMPlifiers, immunomodulators, adjuvants, and vaccines for an array of aggressive cancers. It has developed its cancer vaccine product candidates to target biologically validated tumor mutation drivers using known neoantigens.
